2 DAVID P. MARTINI, P.E., F.NSPE Statement of Interest and Qualifications For over 20-years I have been an active member of NSPE and have served in a variety of positions. Over the years, I have grown as an engineer and a leader thanks, in part, to the opportunities I have had as a member of this great organization. I feel that my passion for the principles that the organization was founded on along with my knowledge of the current issues facing Professional Engineers makes me qualified to serve as NSPE s Vice President. EDUCATION University of Minnesota Master of Science: Infrastructure Systems Engineering, 2002 North Dakota State University Bachelor of Science: Civil Engineering, 1994 AWARDS & RECOGNITION MnSPE Extra Mile Award, 2008 MnSPE Young Engineer of the Year, 2000 Minnesota Department of Transportation, Above and Beyond Award, 1998 Minnesota Department of Transportation, Work Zone Safety Award, 1996 and 1998 Similar to the circumstances that existed at the time NSPE was founded, there continue to be concerns related to the ethical practice of engineering, engineers practicing with questionable qualifications, and threats to the profession from third parties who downplay the importance of licensure in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. We should not forget that NSPE is the only organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the value of the PE. I have been very committed to this effort by working to pass state legislation that protects the value of the PE License by preventing government agencies from requiring engineers to obtain additional certifications to perform work they are already authorized to perform under current licensure laws. As our world becomes more connected and automated, I believe that the pressure from outside of the profession to reduce licensing requirements will only grow. With that in mind, NSPE s role in promoting and protecting the role and necessity of the PE will be more important than ever. I believe that if we are not proactively communicating the importance of PEs, then we are not fulfilling our purpose as an organization. In the words of David Steinman, The most far-reaching benefit to our profession and to all of its members lies in increasing the appreciation and respect of the general public for our profession. Thanks to the strong leadership of NSPE and its state partners, awareness related to the importance of PEs is being raised with government agencies, law makers, educators, and the public. However, our work is far from done. To ensure that NSPE remains a leader in promoting and protecting the PE, I believe the following priorities are key to NSPE s future success: Maintained focus on the PE Focus on the future role of our profession in society Strong partnerships between NSPE and the State Societies Quantification and communication of NSPE s value New membership model implementation Strategic partnerships David Martini, P.E., F.NSPE, Vice President Nomination Package, pg 2 of 9

David was a very active member through various fundraisers. He won the MnSPE Extra Mile Award in He was Chair of the MnSPE Legislative Relations Committee and kept the Board very informed on legislative items. David played a key role in getting the recent law passed in Minnesota that recognizes the education and experience requirements of the PE license as the gold standard of the engineering profession, and eliminates the automatic application of additional licenses or certification to licensed PEs. Over the years, I have seen David rise through the ranks of MnSPE with increasing involvement and served as MnSPE President in 2011/2012. He currently serves as MnSPE representative on the NSPE House of Delegates and is the North Central Region Representative for the NSPE PAC. He was the person that got me involved in the NSPE PAC.

David certainly meets all the qualifications for candidacy as outlined in NSPE OP 12.9, and meets the qualifications required by the Candidate Screening Committee.
